A Treasonous Media Cover-up

Leading Journalists Expose the Myth of a Free Press

This is a two-page summary of fascinating accounts by 18 award-winning
journalists from the book Into the Buzzsaw, edited by Kristina Borjesson.

John Kelly—author, ABC producer.
ABC hired me to help produce a story about an investment firm that was
heavily involved with the CIA. Part of the ABC report charged that the CIA had
plotted to assassinate an American, Ron Rewald, the president of investment firm].

Scott Barnes said on camera that the CIA had asked him to kill Rewald. After
the show aired, CIA officials met with ABC executive David Burke, was
sufficiently impressed “by the vigor with which they made their case” to order
an on-air “clarification.”

But that was not enough. Casey called ABC Chairman Goldenson.
despite all the documented evidence presented in the program, Peter
Jennings reported that ABC could no longer substantiate the charges.

That same day, the CIA filed a formal complaint with the FCC charging that
ABC had “deliberately distorted” the news. In the complaint, Casey asked that
ABC be stripped of its TV and radio Licenses….

During this time, Capital Cities Communications was maneuvering to buy ABC.
Casey was one of the founders of Cap Cities. Cap Cities bought
ABC. Within months, the entire investigative unit was dispersed.
